![]() ![]() The Ecto-2 is just a regular LEGO motorcycle in white. This is the only real negative aspect of the new set. While some of them could be left off, others are an integral of the overall look of the vehicle (like the taillights), so they have to be applied – unless you want to do some redesigning. Many of these stickers are tiny and/or hard to apply. On the new Ecto-1 the same printed curved slopes and license plates are used, and the pinstripes on the sides of the vehicle are also printed, but the rest of the decorations are stickers. This includes the curved slopes with the Ghostbusters logo, as well as the license-plates. Both vehicles are excellent in this regard, and have an overall very pleasing shape, plus lots of cool ghostbusting gadgets on top.īecause the first Ecto-1 is a LEGO Ideas set, all decorations are printed. Building larger, but still minifig-size, vehicles like these is a very interesting experience, and you can learn quite a bit from the building techniques. Also, four minifigs can fit inside much more comfortably that in the first set, where one of them had to lie down at the back. First off, the side-doors and the back can be opened – enhancing the playability of the set. The two versions of the Ecto-1 are actually quite similar in size, but there are some definite improvements on the newer one. Ecto-1 measures over 4” (11cm) high, 8” (21cm) long and 2” (7cm) wide. Includes 5 minifigures: Abby Yates, Erin Gilbert, Jillian Holtzmann, Patty Tolan and Kevin, plus a Mayhem figure. Take aim and zap Mayhem to contain him in the trap or help Kevin join the fight on the Ecto-2 motorbike! Battle the flying phantom or role-play other fun scenes from the 2016 Ghostbusters movie. So let’s start with the official description of the new set: Speed after Mayhem with the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 & 2 vehicles! The demon is getting away! Pack the gear into the rear of the Ecto-1, start up the engine and help the Ghostbusters heroes get ready for a thrilling hot pursuit. Another important difference is that the first set was released under the LEGO Ideas line, while the second one is a wide-release set under the LEGO Ghostbusters theme. A couple of the most significant differences are that in the first movie the Ecto-1 was based on an ambulance and in the second movie a traditional hearse, and in the first movie all the Ghostbusters heroes were male and in the second movie they are female. ![]() I’m not going to talk about or compare the films, as there are plenty of discussions on them already, but focus on what’s relevant from the perspective of LEGO fans. The previously released #21108 LEGO Ideas Ecto-1 set was a tribute to the original Ghostbusters movie, while the #75828 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 & Ecto-2 is tied in with the new Ghostbusters film, scheduled for release on July 15th. We have discussed the new set previously (see: LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 & Ecto-2 Coming!), but today I wanted to explore it in a bit more detail, and also compare it to the earlier version. This is the second LEGO Ghostbusters set with an Ecto-1, and both of them are still available (which is quite unusual, as LEGO normally doesn’t release similar sets at the same time). If you haven't seen the sounds in action, you really should have a listen.One of the most interesting new LEGO set released this month is the #75828 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 & Ecto-2. Sounds are then randomly triggered with the remote control. No sounds are included with the module when we ship it to you, but you can easily find and download your favorite Ghostbusters music and sounds, then copy up to 4 minutes of total sound and music onto the sound module. Alarm beep sounds that play when you turn the master power off.Īt the same time any of the above sounds are playing, you can also play up to five of your own custom sounds, which can be easily loaded onto the sound module using a computer.Door open/close sounds sampled from a real Cadillac.Includes unique start and stop sounds, and even a great "engine stall" sound that will be triggered 40% of the time when you start the engine. Authentic Cadillac ambulance engine sound that loops until you stop it.Looping siren that starts when you start it and plays until you stop it.This provides the most realistic sound possible, including: This kit has not one, but two sound modules, and together these modules can play four sounds at the same time.
